Jakarta: Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) and the Koja Container Terminal at Tanjung Priok Port in Indonesia are opposing an increase in container handling charges.
Foreign shipping companies had previously implemented a US$95 terminal handling charge per TEU, and a charge of $135 per FEU. This sum comprised $70 payable to the port operator and $25 in surcharge.
Now, the port operator's share has risen to $83 per TEU and $124 per FEU, reports the Binis Indonesia, which is expected to prompt international shipping companies to increase their surcharge to compensate for the increased box handling charge. [8/9/08]
